Srinagar, Jan 17: The incarcerated chairman of Muslim League Jammu Kashmir Masarat Aalam was on Thursday brought to Srinagar from Kot Bhalwal Jail to appear before the CJM Srinagar in a case lodged against him by Kothi Bagh police station in 2010.

The next hearing of the case has been scheduled for 30 January 2019. After the hearing, Aalam was taken back to Jammu jail, a spokesperson of the League Sajad Ayoubi said in a statement issued to GNS.

“Aalam is languishing in jail since long, however, it is quite disheartening that he is being subjected to vengeance by state authorities,” he said, adding, “The administration has made its mind to place Masarat Alam behind bars and it is using PSA and other baseless charges as a tool otherwise courts have repeatedly quashed his detention and directed his release.”

Ayoubi said that keeping Masarat Aalam in jails on “concocted charges” and repeatedly slapping PSAs on him to prolong his incarceration is “nothing but a travesty of justice”.

“A conspiracy is being hatched to keep him behind bars. Authorities don’t want to free him. New ways and means are being devised to harass and intimidate him, but he will never succumb,” the spokesperson said.

Stressing for Masarat Alam’s early release, the spokesperson appealed to United Nations, OIC, Human Rights Council, Red Cross, Amnesty International and other rights bodies to come forward and take strong note of “illegal” detention of the incarcerated leader.

Geelani pledges to take Kashmir struggle to ‘logical conclusion’

KD NEWS SERVICE

SRINAGAR, Jan 16: “History stands testimony to the fact that no power on earth, no matter how cruel and barbaric that be, no matter how prolonged it may be has ever succeeded in curbing the freedom sentiments of any nation and every oppressor has a definite and tragic end if fought with unity, sincerity and dedication. Our oppressor has crossed every limit and every degree of brutality to subjugate us,” said chairman Hurriyat Conference (G), Syed Ali Geelani, in a telephonic address to the mourners of the Zeenat-ul-Islam at Shopian today.

In a statement issued here, Geelani has reiterated his pledge to take the movement to its logical end and never to allow anybody to barter the precious blood of martyrs. “We need to be aware of this and we are duty bound to safe guard their sacrifices and should desist from such activities which prove detrimental for our movement,” he said.

He said that deceitful slogans of development, prosperity or material gains can never be a substitute for freedom. Pro-Indian politicians have turned into political leaches, sucking every drop of our blood to satisfy their masters in Delhi.

He said that election drama and the multi faced political stooges pose as our saviors to fetch them votes in the name of roads, electricity and water, but in reality they are the people who strengthen the unholy bond of slavery so nation as a whole should desist from any support to them.

The pro-freedom leader has said that, “our movement has become so precious that no perk and privilege can compel us for any compromise.”

Stressing upon people in general and youth in particular, Hurriyat (G) chairman said that we need to strengthen our faith and protect our civil, social, religious and human liberties, avoid miss deeds and nourish the Islamic culture in our homes and society without indulging in sectarian hatred and social evils.
